2007 Stand-alone SnugRide® Infant Car Seat Recall
Potential Problem:
Graco® has determined that the backing of the seat pad on certain stand-alone SnugRide® Infant car
seats manufactured in the United States, may be prone to deterioration or tearing, especially after
washing. If this occurs, children occupying the car seat may be able to remove the padding material from
the back of the seat pad and place it in their mouths, posing a potential choking hazard.
This notice does NOT affect SnugRide® car seats sold with a stroller as part of a Travel
System.
This issue does NOT affect the ability of the child restraint system to protect the
occupant in the event of a motor vehicle crash.

Check the model number and manufacture date on your car seat to see if your car seat is affected by
this notice. If you do not know the model number and date of manufacture of your car seat, you can find
it on the label on the back of the car seat.

Until receipt of a replacement kit, you can continue to use your car
seat, but Graco® recommends that you monitor the seat pad on a periodic basis to ensure the integrity of
the pad and not unnecessarily wash the pad while you await receipt of the replacement kit. This issue
does NOT affect the ability of the child restraint system to protect the occupant in the event of a
motor vehicle crash.
